Transcript

Welcome to “Designing an Azure Network Implementation”. My name’s Guy Hummel and I’ll be helping you with the network aspects of architecting an Azure solution. I’m the Azure Content Lead at Cloud Academy and I have over 10 years of experience with cloud technologies. If you have any questions, feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn and send me a message, or send an email to support@cloudacademy.com.

This course is intended for people who want to become Azure cloud architects. It’s an important course to take if you’re preparing for Microsoft’s 70-535 exam.

To get the most from this course, you should have a general knowledge of networking.

We’ll start with an overview of virtual networks, which are the fundamental building blocks of Azure networking. Then I’ll go over the different options for load balancing traffic to applications. Next, you’ll see how to connect Azure virtual networks to external networks, such as in your own datacenter. After that, I’ll explain how to secure your Azure networks. Finally, I’ll show you how to design connectivity for hybrid applications that access on-premises data.

By the end of this course, you should be able to design Azure virtual networks; design external connectivity for Azure virtual networks; design network security strategies for Azure; and design connectivity for hybrid Azure applications.

We’d love to get your feedback on this course, so please give it a rating when you’re finished.

Now, if you’re ready to learn how to get the most out of Azure’s network services, then let’s get started.
